Well look at it this way... condoms, diaphragms, vasectomies are all ways that people control life. These methods of controception is putting people in control of when life begins and ends. Its people, objects, drugs controlling life. I believe only God should control life.
Why thankyou!
Well, its not a defeat really, its just a choice. In this world, we have control of lots of stuff, we have lots of choices. And God is looking to see if you make the right or wrong choice.
You expect married couples to remain abstinent because they feel they cannot yet grow their family any larger? How is that any different than contraception, come to think of it? You're married, you're supposed to be having sex, but you choose to do something (ridiculously drastic) to avoid getting pregnant because you feel you're not ready. It's the exact same thing as using a condom or getting on the pill. You're taking control, not leaving it up to God.
both the Catholic Church and Protestantism historically have strongly condemned contraception.
were they right?
can contraception be linked to adultery, divorce, and other societal ills?
First - Did not having contraception prevent "adultery, divorce, and other societal ills?"
no.
but it sounds like there was a serious increase in these with the increased use of contraceptives
that of course doesn't prove causation. but I think it reflects the reality that contraception is wrong
If there is no causal relationship, then it doesn't reflect that all. Even if there was a causal relationship, that still wouldn't prove that contraception is intrinsically wrong - one could, after all, point out that the ends justify the means.no.

Then there is a causal relationship between drug use and divorce. Regardless, the onus is still on you to show how contraception leads to divorce.I don't agree because although drug addiction doesn't cause divorce it certainly tends to contribute to it
I quite agree that periodic abstinence can be abused
I don't think it is intrinsically wrong like contracepted sex
Show how contraception leads to divorce.
Like I'm going to pay attention to an anti-choice terrorist apologist when it comes to birth control.
With Roeder trial, abortion dodges another bullet
Nevermind, there was nothing of substance in the article to refute. It was just "God hates it, don't do it!" while also taking a jab at women who think their lot in life is more than just being a baby machine.
here is an article that gives three seemingly plausible and common-sensical reasons
A Protestant analyzes contraception, part II
another reason is that contraception takes the life out of one's sex life
contraception takes the life out of one's sex life
